MIT: M.S. in Science Writing

“During their year here, students learn fundamental research and reporting skills and produce publishable works of print, audio, video, and interactive journalism. Our curriculum teaches students how to interpret and explain science to the wider public, to place research and researchers within their social and historical contexts, and to create pieces that balance hard analysis with creativity and style. We live on the border between art and science, and we recruit students from across that spectrum. Our cohorts include journalists, working scientists, artists, recent undergraduates from science or humanities majors, and others who have a passion for learning the delicate nuances of science writing.”
